742. Embrace your opponent
In 8 seconds, Donovan set up his last attack.
But they were already four points behind and could only send a quick shot in the frontcourt and then make a foul on the spot.
Lin Feng scored his 32nd point, and it was a bursting air relay, which made Lakers fans at the scene smile.
Jenny Bass finally relaxed her expression. She was talking to her younger brother Jim, both of them were very happy.
"There is only eight seconds left for the Thunder, and the four-point gap is as long as the Lakers do not make mistakes, it will take at least two rounds to be caught up. It's hard."
Zixing from Tencent’s live broadcast room sighed.
Teacher Su smiled and said, "Looking forward to the miracle, the Thunder will get a 3+1, but I don't have much hope. The Lakers will let you score two points and then wait for you to foul. Today their free throw shooting percentage is very high, only Kuzma has lost one, and the rest is all, which is quite terrible."
The suspension ended soon, and Lakers players cheered each other to defend the ball. They were only eight seconds away from the second round, and after that, the Western Conference semi-finals.
Walton used Pope to remove Hart and adopted a relatively high defensive lineup.
The audience cheered, and Grant walked to the sideline and served the ball.
Westbrook and George were both taken care of by special care. Lam Lin continued to follow Westbrook. Both of them had movements. At this time, the referee would not brag and hand over the decision-making power to the players.
Grant felt a little nervous, after all, it was the goal that determined the team's fate.
The audience was filled with noise interference, and the fans behind the sideline worked the most.
George staggered and barely controlled the basketball under James' loving care!
But there was no chance to take action, and Lao Zhan covered the sky with his strong physique and a pair of big hands!
Time passed, and in desperation, Grant ran to the top of the arc and received the ball and shot. He tried to lean on defender Pope, but failed.
In five seconds, the basketball drew an arc and flew over the Lakers' position.
Everyone squeezed into the basket and fought for the landing point. At that moment, the Oklahomans desperately prayed that the goddess of luck would favor their team.
Donovan stood in front of the coach's seat with his hands in his hands. He knew that he could no longer control the game and could only rely on those children.
As the TV signal was broadcast to hundreds of countries around the world, nearly 100 million people sat in front of the TV sets waiting for the results.
It was so long that Lin Feng made predictions in advance.
The basketball bounced out of the basket! This almost sentenced Thunder to death!
"Aquaman" Adams roared, and rose from the basket and racquetted the racket!
Yingge arrived in time, and his long arms made Westbrook unable to take action, who had got the ball from the outside.
For four seconds, Westbrook chose to distribute it to George who circled out on the other side.
Just after the ball was shot, Lin Feng flew out two meters, using rugby interception, he put the ball in his arms, and then quickly rushed through the half!
At that moment, he seemed to be an excellent football running back. After crossing the half, he entered the Thunder position, he did not make a layup but slowed down to a stop. Facing the empty basket, he held the ball with one hand and waited for the time to be exhausted.
No one of the Thunder players stepped forward to steal, they had completely lost.
The last second was exhausted, and the home fans blew up their applause.
The five people on the Thunder side stood there, and no one wanted to accept the fact that they were eliminated.
"We won."
Lin Feng stepped forward to hug James, and they successfully advanced to the second round in four games!
James's tight face finally smiled, "Great job, everyone is great, especially you Gary, how do you plan to spend tonight?"
Lin Feng spread his hands and said, "Take a hot bath and relax."
According to the current game schedule, no matter who the opponent in the second round is, they have four days to rest and can do a lot of things.
MVP!MVP!MVP!MVP!
The deafening cheers of the audience made Westbrook feel moved by the scene. After all, he is also a native of Los Angeles and graduated from the University of California, Los Angeles.
This situation made him feel a lot of emotion. After all, who doesn’t want to play for his hometown team? That sense of honor is incomparable to how much money it is.
Westbrook stood there, looking at the excited audience. He was one of them since time, but now he has become an opponent.
No one left early, Thunder coach Donovan called the boys over and gathered them together.
"It's a pity that we haven't achieved our goals this year, but there's nothing that makes us depressed. The road ahead is still long and we have a lot to do."
Donovan squatted among the players and said patiently.
"We will continue to improve this summer and get better, and everyone will be stronger next season than they are now."
"The last thing the kids do is to congratulate their opponents on their advancement, walk up and shake hands with them, and thank everyone. They did do better than us in five games and deserved to win tonight. Although this will make you feel uncomfortable, this is growth."
"You guys are all great players, I'm not doing well enough."
Donovan got up and his teammates walked back into the field.
Despite the unpleasant incident, the home fans still gave applause to their opponents.
"Hey Gary, hey Gary!"
Westbrook stopped him and walked straight over.
Lin Feng didn't say anything, and instantly closed his smile on his face and looked at him.
"Congratulations, you won. You deserve to advance to the next round, brother, I'm convinced." Westbrook's eyes flashed, and it was obvious that he wanted to win, so he must be extremely heartbroken at this moment.
"You are also great man, you are still honored even if you lose."
"Actually I thought you were going to come and beat me up."
Lin Feng smiled and hugged Westbrook, and patted his ass.
This is a contest between men. After the game, it means that the winner will be decided. No matter what, you have to go over and tell your opponent that you are great.
This is the charm of competitive sports, and this is why we love basketball.
"My season is over, it's very uncomfortable, but I still have to grit my teeth and say you are the most energetic young man I've ever seen."
"God, I actually live in the same era as you, just like the unlucky guys who met Michael Jordan. But that doesn't mean I will appreciate your basketball. Remember that the next time I go to Los Angeles, I will find the venue and see you next season."
Westbrook's expression was a bit naughty. This guy was arrogant on the court, but he was actually a very easy-going person off the court.
"Of course, I'll wait for that moment, but you have to know that Los Angeles will never give up."
The two hugged each other again and then exchanged jerseys, which felt like a hero was cherishing heroes.
When Westbrook walked towards Lam, Ursula on the sidelines was nervous. She was really worried that the two young guys would fight directly. Now it seems that she was over-concerned.
The Ursula family, the Franks and his wife were full of appreciation, and they expressed their congratulations to Lin Feng.
"Is it right to reach the finals like this? Haha, do you want to know your opponent in advance?"
As he said that, Frank handed him two tickets, which were the Clippers who played against the Warriors at home the night after tomorrow.
Earlier today, the defending champion Warriors defeated the Clippers at the Oracle Center, and Curry Durant scored 92 points in a combined score, changing the total score to 3-2.
The night after tomorrow, the two teams will play G6 at Staples, which will definitely be exciting.
Lin Feng directly got the tickets without hesitation, two of which were undoubtedly prepared for him and Ursula, which was great.
"Thank you." Lin Feng and Ursula's father hugged warmly.
They set off a good start for the playoffs, but that doesn't mean it will be smooth sailing.
Everyone understands that the process is not as easy as 4-1, and even when entering garbage time, Thunder still creates a lot of trouble for them.
An admirable opponent, Lam Lin always remembers the feeling of hugging Westbrook.
It was strange that I wanted to kill him with a submachine gun on the field, but after the game, everything disappeared, and the rest was respect.
Chapter completed!
